Door Hinges
I noticed the drivers side door "drops" a little bit when I open it. The top hinge has some play in it. This, of course, destroyed the striker bushing. I can get the bushing at the auto parts store, no biggie. Is there a hinge kit available for the OBS trucks, or do I have to get the whole hinge? Thanks.

you might be able to bend it back into place with a pry bar under your door and onto the floor of your truck. I think thats the way we did that on my buddy's 97 and it worked and didnt ruin anything. i dont blame you tho if you dont wanna do that, but i dont know the answer to your question sorry, just my 2 cents

Good luck. It is not hard just have a jack or stands to support the door. Looks like you are on the right track here.

Wow! That was easy. An air chessel on the old pins. Had'em out in 5 minutes. I did find that putting a slight bevel on the edge of the bushings with a sander made it a lot easier to start them in the hole. Once again, grassy-***.
